18. 18 Your Role: Presentations  In August, make sure that your authors begin their presentation work  Discuss the format of the session  Note time constraints  Review the PowerPoint presentations rule of thumb: no more than 3-4 bridge slides (title, outline, conclusions and 8 content slides max!)  All authors send you a final electronic copy of their presentation but….

19. To keep you sane… Authors are to bring their own set to the conference! 19

20. Monday—At the Registration Desk Market Transformation will be in Classroom 1 on Tuesday. Find the computer named “Classroom 1” and… 20 Put the presentation for Market Transformation on : Classroom 1- Umweltforum

21. Open the Desktop and Find Your Session’s File Folder… Put you file in the proper session folder Example  Market Transformation Tues. 11:00 – 12:30 Tiedemann Wobus Parlin Bennich  National Energy Programs Tues. 2:00 – 3:30 Add files into this folder 21

22. Get Ready for Stage Time 22

23. 23 Be Prepared And Thus Avoid Surprises

24. 24 In Your Room In your room:  Table and four chairs, room set is schoolroom  Podium  Laser pointer  Speaker timer  Data projector  Computer!!!!! Confirm that each speakers presentation is in your sessions file folder on the computer. Your room manager will help with this

25. Focus on Key Learnings for Your Audience Ask each speaker what they see as the “take aways” from their presentation—this will help you craft a short session story Are there connections that you can see that may have been overlooked by your speakers (the old forest for the trees issue) 25

26. 26 Credential your Speakers Review bios—and then:  Think about what is relevant in this bio that makes them ideally suited to talk about what they are going to cover—credential them—we do not need pedigrees  Be a bit informal—thus do not read a prepared bio Within 5 seconds of hearing someone read a bio, people are no longer listening nor is the information particularly useful

27. 27 Presentation Forensics: Moderator Time Waits for No One Rule One: Time waits for no-one, you have a 90- minute session  Start on time — don’t wait!  Spend the first 5 minutes with: Why this session is important to evaluators Who the speakers are and what they will talk about and what participants should listen for (45 seconds per paper) What the rules are — 20 minutes per speaker, questions at ???? You now have only 85 minutes left

28. 28 Introduce your first, speaker — there is now only 84 minutes left –and by the time you introduce all your speakers when they present, you will have only 80 minutes left But we are not done yet! With general admin, speaker’s presentations, time required for moving speakers up and down, closing remarks, you will have around 14-16 minutes for questions and discussion left in your 90 minute session— make the most of this time Time Waits for No One

29. 29 Presentation Forensics: Moderator Problems: Speaker won’t quit:  Remember that the audience can SEE that they have run out of time  Get up and stand next to them  Move them over and suggest that folks talk with them after the session

30. 30 During the Session Wake up the audience! Have questions to get a discussion rolling ready at hand Repeat questions to assure that everyone has heard and you have heard the question correctly—no grandstanding with statements General Problems? Equipment?—ask your room manager to take care of it—they are there to fix whatever happens and then you ignore the problem

31. 31 Your Room Manager: Do Things the Easy Way Will be there to help at all times  They will pull up the presentations and open them at the bottom of the screen  Speaker tent cards will be out  You and the speakers know how to work the equipment

32. 32 Your Room Manager: Takes Care of Trouble Will make sure that your session title is clearly displayed on the outside door Will get more chairs if needed Will handle any problems in the room such as:  Temperature  Lighting  AV not working And anything that takes time away from you doing your job of keeping the session moving
